ing scored four top-ten results in succession fol-lowing a slight low, returned to good form halfway through the season. Races number 15 and 16 of the season will be held at a classic DTM venue: the Nürburgring. Rocky has previously clinched two podiums on the tradition-steeped circuit in the Eifel. We at Schaeffler keep our fingers crossed for him. I can only warmly recommend that you visit a DTM event. We have summarized information, facts and figures for you in this brochure.

The Nürburgring is world-famous, but hardly anyone knows anything about Nürburg, the small town in the Eifel that has given its name to the circuit

#DTMNuerburgring

Historic The Nürburg was first mentioned in a document in 1166

Nürburg is a community and officially recognized climatic health resort in the county of Ahrweiler. Besides Breidscheid, a district of the town of Adenau, Herschbroich and Quiddelbach, Nür-burg is one of four villages located within the Nordschleife section of the Nürburgring. Tow-ering above it is the Nürburg, a ruined hilltop castle with a more than 800-year history. Many service providers and testing departments from the automotive sector reside in this area.

Country and people

The “Green Hell”

Nearly 21 kilometers long, 73 turns, uphill gra-dients of up to 18 percent, inaugurated back in 1927 – these are the impressive facts of the most well-known Nürburgring track configuration: The Nordschleife is also called the most challeng-ing and awe-inspiring race track in the world for good reason. Or, as three-time Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart dubbed it: the “Green Hell.” Up until 1993, the DTM raced on the Nord-schleife as well. Today, for safety reasons, it is no longer approved for all racing series.

For Schaeffler driver Mike Rockenfeller’s team, Phoenix Racing, the event at the Nürburgring is a home round. The Audi squad’s base in Meuspath is located just a few kilometers away from the race track. “I’m already looking forward to racing in front of my home fans,” says Rocky. “There are two long straights on the Nürburgring where, thanks to DRS, you have good overtaking opportunities.” The DTM events are held on the 3.6-kilometer short configuration of the Grand Prix circuit that was inaugurated in 1984. In both 2011 and 2014, Rockenfeller clinched a podium there.

Interview

questions for …

As an official technology partner of Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler you are active in the Formula E electric racing series as well. This is a totally different field particularly in terms of the type of powertrain. IC engines and electric mobility – how do these two fit together in a portfolio in your case?Peter Gutzmer: “Electric mobility is our future but, this said, electric mobility is the future of the IC engine as well. As many studies have shown, we’re not going to achieve the envisioned targets by 2050 with purely battery-based electrification. Looking at it from the perspective of total systems, this will only be possible if we create CO2-neutral energy carriers using renewable energy sources which can ideally be achieved in an IC engine system. The future of our personal mobility will be defined by a sound mix of hybrids, efficient IC engines and electric powertrains.”

As far back as in the 1980s, DTM cars were racing with stickers of Schaeffler’s LuK brand and since 2011, an Audi fully wrapped in Schaeffler’s colors has been attracting attention. What’s the objective that drives this commitment?Peter Gutzmer: “Schaeffler has always been an innovation driver. About three decades ago, we extended our commitment from the factories to the race tracks in a manner of speaking in order to present our brands in the competitive environment of motorsport. Many cars not only in the DTM but also in other motorsport disciplines such as rally racing were emblazoned with logos of Schaeffler’s LuK, FAG and INA. Today, we’re communicating our brand values in motorsport under the ‘One Schaeffler’ theme. In addition, motorsport not only reflects the competitiveness of our products, but also strengthens the skills of our young engineers who increasingly often join us with experience from the Formula Student engineering design competition.”

Talking about technology transfer: The technologies in race cars and production automobiles are frequently not so far apart from each other. How do these two fields benefit from each other?Matthias Zink: “The complexity and speed in motorsport commitments sharpen the focus on what’s essential and require our engineers to deliver feasible solutions at a fixed point in time. In addition, motorsport promotes team spirit. All this is beneficial for Schaeffler’s daily work as a globally active automotive and industrial supplier as well.”

Officer of Schaeffler AG, and Matthias Zink, CEO Automotive of Schaeffler AG,

in an interview

From small stickers to full vehicle branding – Schaeffler has been progressively extending its DTM commitment over the past 30 years.

Success in racing has proved the company right

Champion makers

The beginningsThe logo of Schaeffler’s LuK product brand is featured on Kurt Thiim’s racing suit and car, among others. In the first event, at Zolder in 1986, the Danish rookie races from second on the grid to victory. At the end of the season, Thiim even wins the title. In the following DTM years, the LuK, INA and FAG logos can be seen on many other cars of the Alpina, Audi, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Opel marques and on the racing suits of their drivers.

2011Triumph in Schaeffler’s colorsFor the 2011 season, Schaeffler concentrates its commitments and becomes the naming sponsor of a full race car of Audi Sport Team Phoenix. The Schaeffler Audi A4 DTM sporting conspicuous colors and dubbed “Caipirinha express” in the hands of campaigner Martin Tomczyk turns out to be a guarantee for points. In all ten races of the season, the Bavarian driver claims a place in the top five, celebrating three victories in the process. At the end of the season, he scores the title win. The whole Schaeffler Group is the champion in its DTM debut year.

2013Repeating the feat

In the 2013 season, the Schaeffler campaigner’s name is Mike Rockenfeller. In just his second race, at Brands Hatch, he celebrates his first victory that season and takes the lead of the standings. Victory number two, at Moscow, produces

an early decision in Rocky’s favor in the title race with BMW driver Bruno Spengler. After the penultimate event at Zandvoort, Rockenfeller can no longer

be bumped from the top spot in the overall standings.

In the medium term, 70 percent of all newly registered vehicles – hybrid models included – will have an IC engine on board, according to a forecast by a Schaeffler scenario for 2030. In the light of future climate and emission targets, it is all the more important to make established powertrain technology fit for the future

For the globally active automotive and industrial supplier, it is clear that an either-or philosophy will not be sufficient on the road toward mobil-ity for tomorrow. “Important keys to success lie in the ability to think systematically and in am-bidexterity, the gift of acting with ‘both hands.’ This means continuing to develop the things that haven proven viable while breaking new ground at the same time,” explains Prof. Peter Gutzmer, Schaeffler’s Chief Technology Officer.

The further development of things that have proven viable include, for example, rolling bear-ings for engines and transmissions with partic-ularly low friction, as well as mechanically and electronically optimized control systems such as the UniAir fully variable electrohydraulic valve control and electromechanical camshaft

Efficientlyadjusters or VCR systems enabling variable compression ratios. Another highly attractive and effective technology: Schaeffler is testing three-cylinder engines with so-called rolling cyl-inder deactivation where a different combustion chamber is shut off after every four cycles. This is where Schaeffler’s patented dual-mass flywheels with pendulum-type absorbers for vibration ab-sorption are utilized as well – an invention that for many years has been responsible for perfect-ly smooth running of ICE powertrains in a wide variety of configurations. In addition, it enables driving in particularly low engine speed ranges and thus yields additional savings potential.

45 percent efficiency realistic

In spite of continuous improvements, it is also clear that without additional electrification of the

into the future

powertrain the IC engine will not be able to com-ply with future emission limits. Schaeffler has developed a large number of production solu-tions in this context, ranging from the thermal management module derived from the internal combustion engine to electric clutch systems to 48-V and hybrid technologies.

In 2030, Schaeffler expects that annual produc-tion just of so-called P0 hybrid drives, in which the electric motor is connected with the crank-shaft of the IC engine via a belt, will amount to some 20 million units. These belt-driven start-er-generators make it possible to recuperate braking energy to be stored in small, cost-effec-tive lithium-ion batteries. The recovered energy can be used to restart the engine in start-stop or in coasting modes and to boost acceleration. To enable the dynamic alternation between var-ious operating modes, Schaeffler, among oth-er things, developed an electrically operated active belt tensioner. With these technologies Schaeffler expects that an efficiency increase of gasoline engines to 45 percent is realistic. That would raise it to the level of modern diesel units.

An important aspect of looking at efficiency is that Schaeffler goes beyond the consumption of the powertrain, instead considering the entire energy chain of mobility, from well (source) to wheel. In terms of emissions, the IC engine no longer compares so poorly with its electric com-petition if the analysis is based on the current electricity mix in which fossil fuels throughout the EU account for 44 percent. But even a com-plete switch to electricity produced from renew-able sources would not necessarily mean the end of the IC engine. The combustion of synthetic fu-els produced with green electricity is low in emis-sions and CO2-neutral. Synthetic fuels achieve a vehicle range comparable to that of fossil fuels and can be easily sold via existing filling station networks.

“Crucial for success is a holistic view of the pow-ertrain and the interaction of the electric motor, the internal combustion engine and the related infrastructure,” explains Matthias Zink. “With its expertise in electric mobility as well as in engine and transmission systems and chassis Schaeffler is superbly positioned.”
